The development of the US code-sharing system between major and regional carriers during the past two decades has provided a safe, professional and reliable system for the traveling public, RAA President Roger Cohen underlined during his presentation today at the NTSB Code-Sharing Symposium in Washington, DC. “As passengers expect, regional airlines fly under the same gold standards as the majors: there is one level of safety," said Roger Cohen, underlining that on a voluntary basis, regional carriers have incorporated and advanced numerous safety programs such as ASAP, FOQA and others.
